Su Yu walked a few steps forward quickly, and greeted him one after another: "The juniors Su Yu (Duan Chong, Chen Wanting), I have seen the seniors. ”

This is the first person in the Shenhou Mansion to appear in front of people.

And he is still presiding over such a huge event - negotiating with the sixty-one families in Xijing, and even negotiating with the Xijing official mansion that will come later, even if this old man is not the 'iron gallant god marquis' in the Shenhou Mansion, his status will not be too bad.

The three of them did not dare to slack off.

However, the silver-faced old man was quite easy-going: "No need to be polite, please sit down." ”

Then he took out five portraits by himself, and when he compared the five people behind him, such as Su Cheng and Su Dong, he nodded and smiled: "I heard that the family style of the Su family in Xiandu has always been rigorous, and occasionally there are two scum, and they can be corrected in time, which is better than many famous families." ”

That's a compliment.

Sincere.

Su Yu listened, and felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It's because the Su family is not strict in discipline. ”

Then he hurriedly asked the servants who accompanied him to present the fine money—

Su Cheng was sixty taels in three years.

Su Dong was one hundred and sixteen in eight years.

and three slaves of the Su family, with a total sentence of 77 years and a fine of 1,540 taels of silver.

The total amount of silver fines for the five people is only 1,760 taels, which is just a small amount of money for the Su family.

After Su Yu presented the fine silver stipulated by the Shenhou Mansion, he asked people to pick up two boxes, opened them and saw that the gold and silver were all over: "This is a little bit of the Su family's heart, and I also ask the seniors to smile." ”

The Shenhou Mansion only asked for a thousand taels, but the Su family didn't dare to really give only a thousand taels.

Focusing on the second room, the Su family made up 500 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver to pay homage. Whether it is to ask the Shenhou Mansion to be kind to Su Cheng and Su Dong, or to let the Su family deal well with the Shenhou Mansion, there is a gift to gain, and the mind must always be fulfilled.

Five hundred taels of gold.

Five thousand taels of silver.

It adds up to a total value of fifteen thousand taels, which is almost ten times the amount of the fine!

It's a big deal.

If the Su family dares to send it, the Shenhou Mansion will dare to accept it!

The silver-faced old man smiled, and the one who came did not refuse, and talked about the right thing: "Su Cheng and the others are in charge, as long as the Su family is strict in the future, the Shenhou Mansion will not be embarrassed." My Shenhou Mansion has always acted fairly, and I ask the Su family to rest assured. There is one more thing left, and I want to ask the Su family to help me with one or two. ”

"The seniors just give orders, and the Su family will do their best to complete it."

Su Yu said busily.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that serious." The old man was ordered by the gods to establish the 'Eternal Life Hall' in the Five Poultry Village, and by the way as a place where criminals were imprisoned in Xijing Mansion, there were originally a few people in the Five Poultry Village who could be driven, but unfortunately they were frightened away by the Xijing army a few days ago, and now the old man has no one to use in the Eternal Life Hall, and he has the shame to borrow some manpower from the Su family. ”

I see!

Su Yu wasn't much surprised.

Before them, in addition to the Pan family, several of the sixty-one families had already come up, and after coming down the mountain, they had all communicated, knowing that these families had all borrowed some manpower from the Shenhou Mansion.

Some of them were servants, who were responsible for the food of the prisoners in the mountains and many chores on the mountain.

Part of it is the guard, and in the future it will be stationed at the bottom of the mountain to prevent the night from rushing to the mountain.

Although it seems a little strange to have the families of the criminals provide these manpower.

But this is unwanted.

So.

Not only can you get closer to the Shenhou Mansion and have more affection in the future, but you can also know the situation of your own children who are imprisoned in the mountains at any time, which is a good thing.

As for the hill down.

It seems to be guarding the five poultry villages, but in fact, isn't it also their own children who are guarding?

Naturally, there is no reason to refuse this kind of request.

The Su family, like the previous ones, gladly accepted.

The two sides had a good conversation.

Just when the handover between the Su family and the Shenhou Mansion was coming to an end.

Suddenly.

Outside, a handyman temporarily hired by the silver-faced old man came to report-

[Chen Wang Lu Yu brought Yin Wangyou of Xijing Mansion and Yu Hui, the commander of Xijing, to ask to see him! ] 】

……

In the mountains, a small courtyard.

Lu Yu saw the first and only person in front of the Shenhou Mansion as he wished, this self-proclaimed-

Sick old man!

Gray hair.

Withered on both hands.

Face mask.

It's mysterious at first glance.

The three of them went up the mountain, with anger, helplessness, and curiosity.

The night before.

Last night.

The two rounds of blows announced by the Shenhou Mansion in advance stunned the entire Xijing Mansion officialdom.

Wang You.

Yu Hui.

All blind.

Even Lu Yu has seen the big scene of the bombing of the Xijing Mansion with his own eyes, and has seen the mansions of Wang You and Yu Hui who were bombed almost at the same time.

I also felt extremely shocked and powerless.

In light of this.

Lu Yu is no longer dormant, not in Xijing City, but in charge, taking the two elders of Xijing Mansion to Wuyu Mountain together, to meet the Shenhou Mansion for a while.

"Wang Fu Yin and Yu Dusi, they have been friends for a long time, and they finally got to see each other."

Cao Xin disguised the old man and hid under the silver surface, greeted Wang You and Yu Hui, and then looked at the man in the python robe at the head: "I have admired the name of King Chen for a long time, but I didn't expect that this little thing in Xijing Mansion could also be alarmed, and I was guilty of sin." ”

This is a mixed bag.

Cao Xin knew that he was stirring up trouble in Xijing City under the name of 'Shenhou Mansion', and the Great Liang Imperial Court would definitely deal with it and send people to investigate, which was reasonable.

But it was the imperial uncle Lu Yu who came under Da Liang alone, which exceeded his expectations.

[Root Bone: 6]

"Tsk!"

Cao Xin felt that Lu Yu was extraordinary, and he had an insight in his hand, which was indeed confirmed.

The value of this person's root bone is the same as that of Sima Qinglian, the leader of the Demon Sect he saw in Qishan, rounding it up, could it be that the strength of the two is about the same?

But.

The rivers and lakes are not very clear about whether this imperial uncle is a master, or even whether he practices martial arts.

Cao Xin only saw it in person today, and thought of this person's promotion of the embroidery division, which is very in line with the character of the elder behind the scenes, so he had an insight.

Now, in combination with the root bone –

"There is a high probability that he is a top master."

"Compared to me, this is the setting of the real 'Iron Courage Divine Marquis'!"

Cao Xin had a lot of mental activity, but his face did not move, and his mask did not move.

This side.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man, and he wasn't sure if this person was an iron gall god. If not, what role does it play in the Shenhou Mansion?

My heart moved.

I want to be tempted.

But Cao Xin was empathetic, and said first: "Since the prince is willing to bring Wang Fu Yin and Yu Dusi to come, he must have the intention to make peace?" ”

The advantage is mine!

No need to take a detour!

Cao Xin thinks that he is not the opponent of these three old oilmen in the officialdom in terms of negotiations, so he simply ignores it and goes straight to the point.

The record of the Shenhou Mansion gave him this confidence!

Lu Yu didn't expect Cao Xin to take this kind of road, and he was slightly stunned, so he nodded with a wry smile: "The Shenhou Mansion is extremely capable, and it can attack Xijing City at any time, but we can't prevent it, let alone fight back, if we don't make peace, I'm afraid that Xijing City will be completely eroded." ”

He sighed deeply.

Since his high position, this is the first time Lu Yu has been so aggrieved.

But he has always been able to bend and stretch, but he doesn't care about being soft with others.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man, and also got straight to the point: "There is chaos in Xijing Mansion, which Lu and the court don't want to see." ”

In fact, long before coming to Wufowl Mountain, Lu Yu had already made several pre-eucalyptus.

But after going up to Wufowl Mountain, when he saw that only the silver-faced old man came forward from the Shenhou Mansion, he knew that many plans were not suitable.

Only one person!

On behalf of the Shenhou Mansion, thousands of people are united.

In the case of not being able to reach more members of the Shenhou Mansion, intimidation, division, co-optation and other means will not come in handy.

can only be gentle first, and then slowly figure it out.

Therefore.

Lu Yu looked at the silver-faced old man with a sincere attitude, "If you have any requirements from the Shenhou Mansion, just bring it up, everyone sit down, and there is something to discuss." ”

Cao Xin could also guess how famous it was, he didn't care, shook his head and said: "The goal of the Shenhou Mansion has always been very clear, to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, and to eliminate the injustices in the world. ”

He got up and paced, looking at Lu Yu-

"You asked me what the Shenhou Mansion wanted, and now I'll tell you-"

"The eucalyptus that the court can't break is broken by my Shenhou Mansion, I will kill those who the court doesn't dare to kill, and I will take care of the things that the court doesn't dare to manage."

"In a word: I will manage what the court can manage, and I will take care of what the court can't."

"The Son of Heaven breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and everyone is equal before the law, this is the Shenhou Mansion."

Cao Xin looked at Lu Yu: "Is it clear enough?" ”

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people."

"All men are equal before the law."

Lu Yu listened and smiled bitterly: "This is impossible. Some people have classes, they have privileges, maybe the predecessors and the Iron Courage Shenhou have ambitions, but can they ensure that everyone in the Shenhou Mansion can always abide by and implement it? There are also Qing officials and good officials in the imperial court, but which of the five capitals and seventeen provinces of Daliang can guarantee innocence? ”

The slogan was shouted loudly.

It's naïve.

"Whether it can be done or not, don't bother King Chen."

"Even if you can only manage one time and one place, after all, it will be the people's benefit, and my Shenhou Mansion will not work in vain."

Cao Xin naturally understood what Lu Yu meant, but just like the anti-corruption work in his previous life, is it because corruption will never be eradicated, so he will not do it and not crack down?

Isn't that more rampant?

Back to the girder.

It's the same.

What the Shenhou Mansion wants to do, the highest goal is to eradicate the crime and inequality of the Great Liang, but this is a lofty ideal, just like the 'Great Harmony of the World', we all know that it is unrealistic, but people with lofty ideals still have to work hard for this for the rest of their lives.

In a previous life, a famous literati of the Republic of China once said: The most precious thing of a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction, so that at the end of his life he can say: "My life and all my experiences are devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world---- to the struggle for the emancipation of mankind."

In addition to martial arts and family in Cao Xin's life, he always has to do something for this world and leave something behind.

As far as you can.

That's all.

……

Regardless of whether Lu Yu agrees with the concept and ideal of the 'Shenhou Mansion', but at the moment, after all, it is the swords of man and the fish and meat-

Xijing City is the meat on the chopping board of the Shenhou Mansion.

Unless Xijing is revoked, all famous and wealthy families can withdraw from Xijing City or even withdraw from Xijing Mansion in order to have some qualifications for negotiation.

Otherwise, it's useless to say anything-

The truth is only within range!

Moreover, even if Xijing City is made an empty city, or even the imperial court gives up Xijing Mansion entirely, who knows if the Shenhou Mansion has the ability to go to other places to do it again?

In case of!

What if one of the targets is changed to the capital of Daliang and placed in the palace?

Is it to move the capital?

Isn't it a joke!

This possibility is not impossible, and it has to be guarded against.

At least until we figure out how the Shenhou Mansion attacked the Xijing City without revealing the details, it is best to coax the Shenhou Mansion to do so.

When the situation stabilizes, and when characters such as the 'sick old man' in the Shenhou Mansion come to the stage one by one, and have closer ties with the Daliang court and various famous families, this Shenhou Mansion will no longer be barefoot.

At that time, the Great Liang Imperial Court had a wealth of experience in dismantling the Shenhou Mansion from within, and even let the Shenhou Mansion be used for its own use.

"High-altitude bombing?"

"Ranged strikes?"

Lu Yu has already begun to look forward to it, if the two armies are at war and the two countries are facing each other, in the dark night, they will attack the enemy's military camp with the same precision as the Shenhou Mansion attacking the Xijing Mansion and the Xijing Mansion, wouldn't Daliang be invincible?

With this in mind.

Lu Yu was more cautious in negotiations, not in a hurry to be tempted, nor in a hurry to be tough, as long as the requirements of the Shenhou Mansion were not excessive, they all obeyed them one by one.

But fortunately, in addition to the slogan of 'everyone is equal', which is a bit ridiculous, the requirements of the Shenhou Mansion in other aspects are far from harsh, and can even be said to be unexpectedly soft!

……

"That's what the Shenhou Mansion wants."

"This is the management regulation of the 'Wuyushan Prison', Lu Guogong can take a look. The sick old man personally promised the king that Wuyushan Prison would be open and transparent, and that men and women would be separated. The guards of the women's prison are all healthy women hired from Xijing. ”

After Lu Yu returned from Wuyu Mountain, he came to Lu Guogong's mansion for the first time and met Lu Guogong.

At this time, the Lu Guogong Mansion had already been emptied.

Lu Guogong was very tough, unwilling to give in to the Shenhou Mansion, unwilling to hand over the lord of Yongjia, so he would rather abandon the huge foundation in Xijing City, or even stop in Xijing Mansion, and wanted to go to other provinces and start anew.

In order to protect this sister, Lu Guogong can be said to be at any cost.

However, the prerequisite for the Shenhou Mansion to shake hands with the imperial court was to let all the criminals of the 61st family in Xijing return to the prison and send them to Wuyushan Prison to serve their sentences.

The Pan family is also good.

The Mansion of Lu Guo is also fine.

No exceptions.

Everyone is equal!

This is the code of conduct of the Shenhou Mansion, which cannot be trampled on or compromised.

Not only that, but the Shenhou Mansion also asked the imperial court to ensure that the above-mentioned sixty-one families in Xijing were not allowed to move out of Xijing.

Why move out?

What do you mean?

Afraid of the Shenhou Mansion?

You don't commit crimes, you don't bend the law, what are you afraid of?

Do you want to move outside Xijing Mansion and continue to do evil?

Migration is a void of heart!

I just want to continue sinning!

Scold!

Shenhou Mansion was the first to refuse!

In light of this.

After Lu Yu and the others came back, they went to each household to do ideological work as soon as possible.

It's good to persuade with good words.

Coercion and intimidation are fine.

In short, it is necessary to make the Shenhou Mansion have no chance to attack.

And among them, the most special and difficult to bite the Lu Guogong Mansion, only Lu Yu is qualified to persuade, and if necessary, even order.

"Is it true that even the prince can't take the Shenhou Mansion?"

Lu Guogong glanced at the management regulations, and saw the various labors of ploughing, weeding, spinning, and weaving inside, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, he looked up at Lu Yu, and his brows were deeply locked.

"There is no way!"

Lu Yu also had bitterness on his face, and said helplessly: "Two nights before and after - Xijing City is airtight, like an iron bucket, but that's it, the Shenhou Mansion still refers to where to fight, and no trace is revealed." In the case of people staring at people, the possibility that there are a large number of internal ghosts in Xijing City can be ruled out temporarily. The king speculated that the Shenhou Mansion either had tighter siege equipment, and could accurately throw boulders and fire oil outside the Xijing City in the direction of the Xijing Prefecture and the Xijing Mansion. Or, this group of people simply attacked from the sky, taking advantage of the dark night, whether it was a kite or a bird, in short, they could strike accurately from a high altitude at night. ”

These two speculations, no matter which one they are, are far worse than the ghosts in Xijing City.

"If it's really a ghost in Xijing City, or even a ghost in all the members, it would be good."

"If this is the case, the unbreakable nature of the Shenhou Mansion is limited to one place in Xijing City."

"But if it's the latter two—"

Lu Guogong obviously realized it as well.

If the Shenhou Mansion has the siege equipment to accurately attack the city from outside the city, or if it has the air power, then it can threaten the Xijing City today, and it can also threaten the capital and the imperial palace in the future!

It's so deadly!

Based on the current situation in which the Great Liang Imperial Court knew nothing about the Shenhou Mansion, the necessary compromise was the best policy and inevitable.

This is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Liang Dynasty, not to mention a Yongjia county lord, that is, the entire Lu Guogong Mansion, what is it?

"Daishan understood."

Lu Guogong agreed in despair.

……
